MATCH 22 REVIEW : DRAMA RIGHT TO THE END

'Great fight'
"It was a great fight for 90 minutes," said a relieved Lagerbäck, whose side will face Germany, the Netherlands or Latvia on Saturday in Faro-Loulé. "I do not know how to say it but of course I am extremely glad. It is unbelievable to get a draw right at the end of the 90 minutes."

Enthralling game
Jon Dahl Tomasson twice gave Denmark the lead in an enthralling game, but Sweden refused to give up, first equalising through Henrik Larsson's penalty, then Jonson's dramatic strike. Lagerbäck said: "Of course if you look at the whole game it is a good result for us too. We had some problems with the Danish team - especially in the first half. In the second half we created some good chances and started to control the game. Overall, I thought it was a fair result."

Larsson's joy
Jonson - based in Denmark with Brøndby IF - was making his first start of the tournament. He said of his goal: "I didn't have time to think. It was just a matter of hitting the ball hard." Larsson, who took his finals goal tally to three, was struggling to hide his delight. "Fantastic, it's just fantastic," he said. "It's a feeling of joy you just can't describe."
